The Cari & Cole Family
Just a Mom, Her Boy, and a Dream Getaway
Our story
Cole, my 15-year-old son, is my heart, my sidekick, and one of the greatest blessings in my life. He has high-functioning autism and cerebral palsy, yet he finds the most beautiful joy in animals, water, and simple adventures. After recently moving from Dallas to Knoxville and trying to rebuild our lives with family, a stay at Milk & Honey Ranch would be more than a getaway, it would be a dream come true and a memory we would carry in our hearts forever.
What the weekend would mean to us
Winning this trip would mean giving Cole something I can’t put a price on. A chance to feel completely happy, free, and surrounded by the things he loves most. After so much change and starting over, I would treasure watching him light up around the animals and water. For me, it would be a chance to breathe, be fully present with my son, and make a memory we would talk about for the rest of our lives.
